The heat in my truck just stopped working a couple weeks ago, it was working fine, the A/C still works and the climate control panel is still functioning but it only blows out cold air now, what could the problems be and could this be something I could fix myself?

Also check to see if the heater control valve works. When the engine is at operating temperature, feel the 3 hoses, with the heater at full blast, they should all be warm. The valve is at the firewall.
